Chapter 725 Trial of Courage Conference
Wuwangpo was still as dark and eerie as ever. There was a small shed on the roadside not far away with a table inside and a staff member sitting behind it.
The staff member said without even looking up, "Welcome to the courage test conference. After registering, you will receive a drink that can enhance your yang energy and protect your body. Drink it before entering."
This drink is actually a mild tea that soothes the mind and warms the body. It contains some jujubes, ginger, etc. It is used as a gift and gimmick to enhance the guests' sense of participation.
"No." Su refused. Who would drink a beverage of unknown origin?
Chongyun also refused, saying that his physique would stimulate the yang energy and cause him to lose control.
Chongyun: "Sora and Paimon want some drinks?"
Sora didn't drink either, and even pulled Paimon, who was curious and greedy, to his side.
"If you're worried, it's okay not to drink," the staff at the registration office continued, "After you go in, pay attention to any movement around you, and don't take it lightly. More importantly, don't act alone, and don't let go of your companions' hands."
This was originally a tactic used to promote the relationship between young couples in their ambiguous stage, but the staff member was immediately stunned when he looked up and saw the people in front of him.
No wonder he felt something was wrong just now! How come there were three or four people?
Oh, forget it. A test of courage contest is not necessarily an activity for couples. It’s normal for those who like excitement to bring their friends along to play together.
Chongyun took the staff's words seriously, "It's so dangerous... I will definitely protect everyone, especially Su!"
If Su was hurt, my aunt would be very sad.
Su Dao felt that there was no danger in Wuwangpo. If there really was a problem, this activity would have been stopped by Qixing long ago.
Moreover, there is no dangerous situation that their Traveler Team cannot handle. Even if there is a problem, they can turn it into no problem!
But seeing Chongyun so innocent, serious and hardworking, Su really thought he was super cute! She immediately took his arm to show her support, "Don't worry, nephew, I will protect you too!"
Shen He’s nephew is her nephew, she should take good care of him!
Chongyun, who was held by the girl, felt his blood boiling and his face flushed with shame. "Everyone says that I am not Su's nephew. Let's talk about our own affairs!"
No! Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much. It would be bad if you lose control and scare them! Calm down! Calm down!
Chongyun condensed frost to cool herself down. Su reached out and carried Kong on her arm as well. Paimon flew between her and Kong, and the group of people formed a human wall and began the adventure of testing courage with high spirits.
Chongyun also regained his composure and explained the situation of Wuwangpo to the Traveler Team.
"Although what the gentleman said just now was a little exaggerated, it is not groundless. Wuwang Slope is a well-known dangerous place in Liyue. The power of darkness here is very strong and lasts for a long time."
Paimon: "Yes, yes, yes! This place is very unusual! We have encountered will-o'-the-wisp here and heard strange noises!"
Moreover, there is a pure water elf who escaped from Fontaine living in seclusion nearby. I wonder how she is doing recently.
"Will-o'-the-wisp..." Chongyun was very envious.
Because of Chongyang's body, he had only seen the kind of ghost fire caused by bone phosphorus. He had never encountered a truly abnormal ghost fire, let alone the kind that made strange noises.
Not long after the group of people left, they saw a man and a woman. The woman was very resistant and yelled at the other party, "Don't come over!"
Chongyun was startled! He rushed over with a sword in one hand and a talisman between his sword fingers in the other, "Stop! You are not allowed to get close to her!"
No matter it is robbery or ghost possession, he will fight for justice!
However, when the other party saw Chongyun's aggressive look, they protected the man who was three sizes older than her, "Who are you?! Why are you pointing a weapon at us?! Qianyan Army! Qianyan Army, help us!"
It took some time for both sides to resolve the misunderstanding. It was not a robbery or a ghost possession, but just a quarrel between a young couple.
The woman was still annoyed, "We are on a date! But he doesn't want to go here or there, what's the point of going on a date!"
The man scratched his head good-naturedly and said, "I'm sorry for causing you to misunderstand. Thank you for worrying about her."
"Chan'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was a little scared, so I deliberately dawdled. I'll walk inside with you and go anywhere with you, okay?"
Her boyfriend was kind and sincere, so Chan'er quickly forgave him. She hugged her older boyfriend and said with great courage, "It's a deal! Don't be afraid. I will protect you no matter what happens."
The boyfriend leaned on her and said, "Chan'er, you are so nice."
Seeing the atmosphere gradually heating up, Chongyun showed an awkward expression, "So we are on a date... But why are we dating in such a dangerous place?"
Sue: "I know, I know, because a scary environment is conducive to accelerating the heartbeat, it's called... the Hanged Man Effect!"
Sora: "...It's the suspension bridge effect."
The first time they came to Wuwangpo, they were frightened by the ghostly fire that could not be driven away, but now? Their heartbeats did not speed up at all.
Paimon urged the teenagers to continue exploring, "Hey, let's go, kids who don't understand couples' affairs shouldn't interfere."
This courage test was like a special event for couples. All he met were pairs of men and women holding hands or hugging each other. Chongyun, who was persistent in trying to find clues about the evil spirits, was given many cold stares by the couples.
There was a scream and a blurry ghost shadow coming from not far away. Chongyun, who was originally depressed, immediately cheered up and ran over there!
But the final result was still disappointing. Paimon said: "What? It turned out that the staff were pretending to be ghosts."
Chongyun was completely discouraged now. "It was all because of my physical condition that everyone came with me for nothing. We didn't see any ghosts."
“No, no, no, no, forget it!” Paimeng waved his hands repeatedly, “Besides, we don’t want to see that thing, we just want to play with Chongyun.”
“So that’s how it is…” Chongyun scratched his head embarrassedly, “Thank you all for accompanying me.”
A group of people were strolling around Wuwang Slope as if they were taking a walk. Chongyun discovered some traces left by evil spirits and used talismans to remove them one by one.
Paimeng was very surprised, "Is there really an evil spirit in Wuwang Hill?"
Chongyun nodded, "There are traces. I did some preliminary research before deciding to come here."
"It seems that ghosts and monsters won't show up while I'm here, but if ordinary people who come here to play are contaminated by the evil spirits left behind by the monsters, they might get unlucky or get sick. If I can clear them away, my trip won't be in vain."
Su praised: "Chongyun really has a sense of social responsibility, he is worthy of being Shen He's nephew!"
Chongyun showed an embarrassed and indescribable expression, "I... forget it, it's getting late, let's stop here today."
After bidding farewell to Chongyun, the Traveler Team headed deeper into Wuwangpo, and along the way they visited Lotia who was living in seclusion in the ruins.
"Did we take the wrong road?" Su looked around, "It feels like we've been here before?"
Kong had already been alert, "We have passed this place three times."
Paimon silently huddled behind his friends, "Ghost ghost ghost wall?"
What the hell! Chongyun felt strange as soon as he left here. Could it be that he thought they looked easy to bully?
Su was very excited, "It's a new round of test of courage!" It's not the fake one just now, it's a real test of courage!
Su Yi rolled up his sleeves and took out two thick stacks of talismans, Liyue on the left and Inazuma on the right, and distributed some to his friends as well, "It will be fun if evil spirits come out!"
